Shitty deal dude, my front has a whole bunch of tiny pebble/debris marks. I to know that one day I will need to do full respray as even the hood has a couple small chips and I have one small one on my rear fender.

I have fixed most with dr. colourchip but the paint is still damaged. I tried and tried and fr the life of me I cannot get the dr. cc to level out even and smooth with the paint such a piss off, I can still find all the chips/marks if close enough to the car as you can see the marks into the smooth surface....

also even the highway (if you drive on highways) will cause a lot of little debris/pebble/rock chips as there is always some kinda crap in the highway. It is only because Nissan uses such a soft crappy paint! when I do get it respray I will be getting it done in better quality paint and and at least 3-4 coats of clear

every time I look at the car it hurts me to see the damage.
